We are having travelers complain a lot about them. I think that vrbo makes enough money. They get over $1600 a year from our two vacation rental properties. The company make 359 million in 2014!! The new fee is around 8-10% for guests !! It is going to slow down our business coming in . Wait and see, I've seen this before with vacation rental websites. I let me people know about the questionable practices on another site that I found. VRBO is now offering guaranteed help with damage to the property, but I would still rather have more business!  That's a lot of money they will be taking in! We are encouraging owners to complain to vrbo about these new fees, and also tell guests that are unappy to do the same. I think if we band together, we can make a difference.
